Collection of Books

Last week I found this darling Ideal Easter book with the above image in it. Something I always do is pick up books. I am particular. I have a crush on vintage children's books. Collect, yes...Rand McNally Jr. Elf books. Partly because of the size and partly because of their images and stories. I never pass a coloring book (they are great for embroidery images). However, I am an adult literature lover too.

You can put them anywhere.

Highlighting almost anything. The cover of this book can be seen through the glass.

Children's books are my favourite! I especially love old readers. I don't have any of the junior elf books, they are adorable. I love the old enamel container that you store yours in! I have an e-reader, but still love the actual books, Marilyn.

You have a wonderful collection of books i to collect the vintage ones and i have quite a collection now i must blog about them sometime. I am slowly starting to read some of mine i love the idea of who read them before me and when they brought and where they were when they first read them. A bot of a romantic i am. dee x

My Mom collects those antique books with the beautifully illustrated covers. So pretty! Like you, I love the children's books... they can be vintage or new, doesn't matter to me. I'm drawn to their wonderful tales and fun illustrations.

I collect old grown-up books as well as the children's and I see the same titles in your pics...Rebecca is a very favorite of mine and I have an old copy. I love when I find the books that some of my favorite old movies are based on. Not only great stories, but the cool vintage colors of the covers make me happy.

You display your collection beautifully! I like the big white tray you can flip through. When it comes to the grown up books with beautiful or interesting covers - yes, ma'am, I will buy a book for it's cover!
